    Hi,
    A Ltd Company is a seperate legal entity. So long as the Director(S) have not given any personal guarentees or acted wrongfully then the directors personal assets are safe.
    So providing as above, a personally owned house would be safe and the tax man would be a creditor of the Ltd company like any other, with no special treatment.
